If that’s all true, then that adult and child from the cult who lived are lucky they lived after their cult had the gall to shoot at firefighters.

EDIT: added words

You're assuming that both of them, including the 13-year old, fired at the firefighters?

No but I am assuming the two of them were a part of the larger MOVE group referred to as "they", especially given they both had the last name Africa which was adopted by all of the cult's members. It's a miracle anybody made it out of the compound after hours of gunfighting and fires that engulfed 2 blocks.

You should not assume children are part of any group or movement. This wasn't a good vs bad event, as reality seldom is. Shitty people on both ends resulted in a tragedy.

Uh okay pal, how about this reformatting:

Thanks pal, I agree with you once you reformatted yourself for clarity. Ty for finally being clear!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Aight, I'll go edit the original to mirror this.

Boy of you think 13-year-olds can't shoot you haven't seen shit

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Boy of you think 4-year-olds can't shoot you haven't seen shit

Boy of you think babies can’t shoot, you’ve never changed a diaper.

I'm not going to sit here and give you a lecture on what the word "IF" means.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah I responded before you changed it, so stfu.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Nah the word if was there from the start, so stfu.

Actually, here is an easy way to tell, your comment in response was over 2 hours later than the last time an edit was made to my comment. So the if absolutely was always there, just hover over the little pencil icon.

I'm sure there is a way to verify it on Lemmy.
